Why does Saturn look as if it's being squeezed?
The oblong shape of Saturn is due to its fast rotation, which causes it to bulge slightly at its equator. This bulging effect, along with its low density and ring system, can give the appearance of the planet being squeezed at the middle.
Is Saturn in the middle of all the planets?
No, Saturn is not in the middle of all the planets. In our solar system, the planets are arranged in order of their distance from the Sun. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, located between Jupiter and Uranus.
Is Saturn shaped like a pear or a sphere?
Saturn is not perfectly spherical due to its fast rotation causing it to bulge at the equator. However, it is not shaped like a pear either. The overall shape of Saturn is best described as an oblate spheroid, where it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
Could you walk in the middle of Saturn?
No. While Saturn probably has a solid core, the heat and pressure there are enormous. A person placed there would be crushed and incinerated in an instant.
Why does Saturn only have 11 hours a day?
Because a day is defined as how long it takes a planet to rotate on it's axis, and has nothing to do with the size of a planet. However, Saturn rotates at about 35,500 kph whereas the Earth for comparison only rotates at 1,675 kph.

Why does saturn bulge out at the equator and flatten at the poles?
Saturn's day is about 10 and one half hours. This rapid rotation makes the largest polar flattening among the planets.
Whats the shape of the Milky Way?
It looks more like a gigantic disk, with a bulge in the middle.

Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?
The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.
What are the four middle planets?
Of the eight planets, Earth, mars, Jupiter and Saturn are the four 'middle' planets.
Which planet has the greatest polar flattening?
Saturn has the greatest polar flattening of any planet in our solar system. Its oblateness, or polar flattening, is due to its rapid rotation, causing it to bulge at the equator and flatten at the poles.
What is spirality?
a galaxy with a bulge in the middle and arms that spiral outward like a pinwheel
Where is the oxygen sensor in a 2004 Saturn ion?
There's two: The first ones off the manifold before the big bulge known as the catalytic converter, it should have 5 wires coming off of it. The second ones after the bulge to make sure the cat is working right.
Why is the planet Saturn flattened?
Saturn's rotation causes its oblate shape. During rotation, Saturn is flattened at the poles and bulges in the middle. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest in the solar system.
A lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a concave lens?
Actually, a lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a convex lens, not a concave lens. Concave lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while convex lenses bulge out in the middle.
